| Who Wore It Better? |
Hello everyone. Welcome to Who Wore It Better...Christmas, Pepsi, or Hanukkah?
You might be wondering where this idea came from.
Let me explain.
The other day I noticed this Pepsi Twist can on the shelf and I immediately thought of the Vortex stamp in my stash at home, and I started to think of ways to combine this stamp and the Pepsi can into a card idea.
Then I thought of those "Who Wore It Better" memes and decided to make a Christmas and Hanukkah card, coloring each with only 2 markers representing the colors of each holiday - and see, "Who Wore It Better".
And that, my friends, is where this out-of-this-world idea came from. LOL
To make the cards:
- I stamped the Vortex stamp on white cardstock using Tuxedo Black ink from Memento because that ink is one of the inks that work well with Sharpie markers. Then I die-cut each stamped image using a 3.75" x 5" stitched rectangle die.
- I colored the Christmas piece using a red and green Sharpie marker. I also colored the Hanukkah piece using a blue and yellow Sharpie marker. Turned out the yellow was Neon...but I think it worked?
To finish the Christmas card:
- I made an A2 card base using red cardstock.
- I die-cut a piece of gold cardstock using a 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die and adhered it to the red card base.
- I adhered a piece of fun foam to the back of my colored Vortex and then to the card front.
- I stamped a Merry Christmas sentiment (sadly, sold out) but you could use A Very Merry Christmas, Season of Joy, or the Season's Greetings Sentiment, in place of the Merry Christmas. I die-cut it using a circle die, then the next size up to die-cut a piece of red cardstock. I adhered a piece of fun foam under the sentiment and then to the card front.
- Lastly, I added some red crystals to the card front.
To finish the Hanukkah card:
- I made an A2 card base using blue cardstock.
- I die-cut a piece of silver glitter cardstock using a 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die and adhered it to the card base.
- I adhered a piece of fun foam to the back of my colored Vortex piece and then to the card front.
- Using Happy Hanukkah, Set of 2, I stamped Happy Hanukkah on a piece of white cardstock, layered it on a piece of blue, then to the front of the card. Then I stamped the inside sentiment on a piece of white cardstock and adhered this to the inside.
- Lastly, I adhered some blue crystals to the card front.
So, be honest, which card wore the can of Pepsi Twist better? Christmas or Hanukkah? Or both! Let me know in the comment section.
Thanks for joining me on the blog today. Until next time...
